Sometimes, all that matters is being in the right place at the right time. Rami knows the storm should have killed him. Very much alive, though slightly waterlogged, he can't shake the feeling that he didn't survive on his own merits. He had help. When a person of interest in the legal matter he's been hired to untangle reveals a strong resemblance to the man who may have saved his life, venturing into uncharted waters becomes the least of Rami's problems. A loner living in the shadow of a once-great house, Malcolm is a hard man to pin down. His seemingly impossible feats of heroism have certainly saved lives, but the people of Envern, Maine, are only too eager to allege he had something to do with his employer's death. Leading a secretive existence under a cloud of suspicion should scupper Malcolm's appeal, but Rami has secrets of his own and his relationship with danger has always been complicated.

This new edition of Daniel Berrigan's classic autobiography To Dwell in Peace, with a new afterword by the author, takes us through his childhood in Syracuse; his early years as a Jesuit, teacher, priest, and poet; his bold 1968 Catonsville Nine action, when he poured homemade napalm on draft files in opposition to the U.S. war on Vietnam; and his ongoing civil disobedience, which led to his going underground and subsequent two-year imprisonment. We read of friends like Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, William Stringfellow, and his brother Philip Berrigan, with whom he participated again in the 1980 Plowshares Eight disarmament action. Daniel Berrigan's breathtaking story and the poetic way he tells it inspire and challenge us to resist war, pursue nuclear disarmament, and undertake a similar journey to peace, hope, and justice.

You’ll still arrive at your destination at the same time, but you’ll have traveled in style. One time, my sister and her husband gave my wife and me one of those fancy coffee machines that makes cappuccino, espresso, and a dozen other drinks. I threw my old one-cup coffee machine away. Why? Because an upgrade is always better. What if you could upgrade every aspect of your life? Your thoughts, words, actions, family, work, friends, and even yourself? I’m here to tell you that you can. Don’t settle for second-rate. Ditch the landline, fly first class, and drink great coffee! ​​​​ Whatever shape your life is in, it can get better. And you can have it all for the low, low price of nothing. It’s free. There’s just one catch. You have to give up the old one. Just like you have to give up your seat in coach to fly first class, you have to leave where you’re at now to move up to a better place. The good news is that it’s not complicated. The steps are simple, proven, and straight from an ancient book of wisdom. I am just going to help you walk through them so you can make that glorious exchange and start enjoying the perks immediately. Get ready. It’s time to UPGRADE.
